title: Repair of anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery in an infant with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis.
abstract: In anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), infants 6 to 12 weeks will often present with symptoms consistent with reflux or bronchiolitis. In those infants diagnosed with both ALCAPA and concomitant active respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis, others have reported delaying revascularization therapy until resolution of the RSV bronchiolitis. Here, we report the case of a three-month-old infant, diagnosed with ALCAPA and active RSV bronchiolitis, who underwent successful myocardial revascularization within 24 hours of presentation and diagnosis.
